    @plushy That has a multi faceted answer. Though the long and short of it is that I've, in one way or another, embraced the darkness. Just not...

So many Aspies here are depressed. With the coming of the fall, cooler weather & diminishing light it seems to be reaching epidemic proportions. Every day, another member shows up feeling defeated. I know that many of us have mild to severe Seasonal Affective Disorder & while it may contribute...

Last Sunday we read from Galatians 6 where Paul tells his readers that you reap what you sow. You might call it the law of karma or what goes around comes around. Anyway, I totally agree with him (for once!) that what you put in your mind is just as important as what you put in your body. You...

I have been watching Hurricane Sandy's track up the east coast and as usual the Weather Channel seems to be trying to outdo itself in the level of hysteria it can arouse. At this point I don't know if they are crying "wolf" or Sandy is as big of a threat as they claim. Usually I don't really...
I think some people are simply stupid. Given the best resources in education, networking and even family, some people just cannot unleash their potentials in an all-supportive setting. They seek to exclude some people away from others, because they think it is fair for the other people to...

Well, I finally got to see the Hand Specialist. What a waste of time! Turns out she is the female version of Dr. Worthless. I guess I should have done my homework before I went so that I would at least know what to expect. Not that it probably would have done any good. She left me waiting...

I hope someone can represent the autism community as a whole entity. This sounds ridiculous for people who have actual experience in running an autism group. However, if this does work in other countries, why not Singapore? We should rep not just the low-functioning ones, not just the...

In My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, there is one episode that interests me: Cutie Mark Chronicles. It is about 3 young ponies (fillies) trying to get cutie marks, or at least in human form equivalents, societal recognition for their talents. They spoke to all the ponies on the way and...

When I was 9 years old, a certain Buddhist monk of a certain temple does - out of all people, he picks me out because of my limitations (Autism). And, well, I was helping my Mom to do prayers. He just says I am naughty and I don't show respect to the Sangha... Well... This is an unfair comment...

I have issues on the Mother Tongue policy, particularly the way it played out for the Indians and Chinese. (Malays have some issue, but we are all supposed to be in the region of Indonesia and Malaysia, don't we?) Mandarin - always a sore point. For all of us. If you substitute 'Tamil' for...

Here's a hypothetical situation. Supposing you had a revulsion to green beans. I don't mean simply I don't like green beans, but you are downright revolted by them. Now say you just started working at a job that required a professional standard of conduct. So you go into the cafeteria...

I help set fire to the rain, like Adele. I got to break away. Because of continued troubles facing a certain tyrant in the group, who influences others and say that I'm a 'clone' of an unpopular member that I don't know well, causing my continued pain in the largest brony fan group in...

We've been talking a lot about chains in my church's small group, as in what are you chained to? What is holding you back? It started out after one of the assistant pastors mentioned in a sermon that Paul was chained to a Roman guard 24/7 when he wrote some of his letters. He asked us to...

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-19966370 I only have a comment to be made on such news, I cannot post this on the main threads: We can wait for ministers' pay rises or housing allowances, but 'hungry people cannot wait to eat'.
I used to be oddly at ease with social settings, or at least with appearing at ease. I could be charming and polite and blah blah blah. Basically, everyone is always shocked to find out I have Aspergers. This was even true when I had just gotten back from New York. I tore up the entire town so...

There are a few values that the University of Chicago practices for its economics and social sciences departments. The University of Chicago is where 'fun goes to die' and where Aspie Nobel Prize Laurete, Vernon L. Smith, and many other Economics Nobel Przie Winners, hail from. Is there...

I go to the same bar. I find it comforting. The people ignore me for the most part, but not this last time. Attractive people were flirting with me, and trying to make normal conversation. I drank more, I could feel my eyes dart around. The words coming out of their mouths was just meaningless...

I do not commit to causes. I used to, but now, I am only committed to one and only cause: to be the truest Geordie I can ever be. This is why I am here on AC. I respect other people's choice. Indeed, what they do is great, with good intentions. They could give free rice, form a support group...

Last night I went to a talk on autism given by Dr. Joshua Diehl, who is an assistant professor of psychology at Notre Dame University. Dr. Diehl is also the director of the For Understanding Neurodevelopment Laboratory there. The meeting was held at a local high school and was sponsored in...
